* (  LEGACIES 2X04 /  SENTENCE PROMPTS.

@puresails

Returning home after a particularly long night, Kol finds Anikaia still awake and clearly waiting for him. These last few months had been something of a ride with the insane cultist threatening to end an entire species with his siren. But that was where Aurora had messed up. She declared war on the Original family. There was only ever one way that could end, and yet it seemed their enemies never learned.

Smirking as he crosses the room to her, he banishes any lingering anxiety by informing her, “it’s over.” Aurora’s little Augustine operation had, quite literally, gone down in flames once they figured out a way inside. The blood of many scientists and cultists coated his hands as well as his shirt. Any progress they’d made with their experiments died with their whole operation. 

Aurora herself had been a difficult one to track though, and even more annoying to touch, but the second Mary Louise had brought down the magic barriers and defenses protecting her, Kol had been first to pounce. He could still feel her racing pulse as his hand curled around her neck and she fought for air. It would have been so quick and easy to pop her head off with his bare hands and present it to Anikaia with a bow on top, but Seph, knowing what he would do, had been on him before it could get that far. Apparently her and the Bennett witch had other plans for her before she was sentenced to die.

Kol had argued with Seph for some time after that before she appealed to his desire for Aurora to suffer. A quick death would have been far too merciful for the likes of her and she had agreed. She deserved to die a horrible death; like the one she’d had in mind for Anikaia. Until then, she was their prisoner.

“She’s not dead quite yet, but she’ll not be a problem anymore,” he continues before giving her a brief summary of everything that had happened. 

❛ You did it. I love you. ❜  

Opening his mouth to continue, Kol is rendered speechless as he is taken aback by the words she blurts out. It was like something of a shock wave to hear from, well, anyone. But especially her. Whether she was just feeling emotional in the moment or what, he wasn’t sure, but she had said them. Clear as day, he had heard it. Even she appeared surprised. 

He wasn’t sure how to take that and he was even less sure how to react to it. It was like he had stepped into completely foreign territory here and didn’t know the language. Feelings weren’t really his strong suit; he didn’t typically do or handle the whole emotional sappy thing well, or at all. As he regains his composure though, Kol plays it off to alleviate the awkwardness that had settled during both their silences. 

“Of course you do. What’s not to love?” He retorts cheekily as he gestures to himself and the smirk returns. Brushing her hair back behind her shoulder, he looks down at her with an amused head tilt. “And you’re about to love me even more, darling.” Leaning down, he brushes his lips against hers, murmuring in between kisses, “Bonnie’s going to reverse the clock on her, and then I’ve arranged for a one-on-one. How’s a bit of revenge sound to you? We could torment the beast just like we did those wretched Rolland traitors. Have a little fun with her before you pop her skull and send her six feet under where she belongs.”

If anyone ought to kill Aurora, it was Anikaia. The witch had come here with an agenda to end the siren line, among other things, so it was only fitting she look that final failure in the eyes as she swung the ax. It was rather poetic. Besides, Kol got an immense pleasure from watching Anikaia work. She could be just as twisted and creative as he could, and that was just one of many reasons he enjoyed her so much.

“When this is all over and she’s dust, let’s get out of dodge for a bit,” he suggests as he kisses her more hungrily now, guiding her back toward the bed. “We’ll celebrate. My family owns a lake house not far off from here.”
